Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels are rightly being universally praised for the game plan that resulted in last night’s complete ass whupping of the incompetent Texans. But the Patriots’ 3-0 start with a pair of inexperienced quarterbacks not named Tom Brady, and a total of 14 snaps with banged-up R...
The Texans Were Tremendously Incompetent
The Patriots entered tonight’s game against the Texans as slight underdogs at home, despite a history of destroying Houston anytime they had a chance, especially at home.

Carlos Beltran Put Eye Black On His Head To Make Fun Of Rougned Odor
Texas Rangers designated hitter Carlos Beltran showed up to the team’s Aug. 28 game with a new look, reminiscent of a different Carlos. As it turns out, Beltran didn’t grow some “hair” to fool anyone. He wanted to make a joke at the expense of teammate Rougned Odor....
Adrian Beltre Is Still Slapping Dingers From One Knee
Adrian Beltre is one of the most entertaining baseball players any of us will ever have the pleasure of watching.

Rougned Odor Slaps Walk-Off Dinger, Stares Down Edwin Diaz
Rougned Odor spent the Rangers’ game against the Mariners tonight messing with Dae-ho Lee, hitting the ball over the field, and futzing around on the basepath.

Jason Kipnis Messes With Rougned Odor, Delighting The Rangers Bench

Yu Darvish Dinged A Big Ole Donger

Rangers Waive Josh Hamilton In Order To Try Again Next Spring
Josh Hamilton, with all of one minor-league at-bat in 2016, has been placed on unconditional release waivers by the Texas Rangers. No one is going to claim him; he hasn’t hit well or been healthy in a couple of years, and he’s still owed about $28 million this season and next. But this may not be th...
